Claudine Burnett has actively been pursuing Southern California history since 1971. She is the former head of the Literature and History Department of Long Beach Public Library and is a member of various historical societies. Claudine joins me to talk about a few of her books but one in particular which is called "Prohibition Madness: Life and Death in and Around Long Beach, California, 1920-1933" about the prohibition and Long Beach that covers underground booze operations, secretive speakeasies and bootlegging, the perfect staging ground for crime, corruption AND murder.
